...Franco regime is an ugly, if somewhat mellowed, relic of the fascist era, and with its denial of basic civil liberties cannot really be acceptable to the new Western European community, founded on respect for human rights. The problem is, however, that ostracism may have the effect of solidifying popular support for Franco, as it did under the ill-fated U.N. resolution for diplomatic isolation...
...right is Young Europe, a few hundred students who feel that Franco is actually too liberal, has abandoned fascism. Somewhere near this crowd are the moribund remnants of the Falange, the onetime fascist party that Franco used to gain power; Falangists today are opportunistic, scattered and weak. At the other extreme, on the far left, are outfits like the Popular Liberation Front, whose Marxist leader has been in jail since 1959. Roughly in the political center are: 1) the Christian Democrats, led by Jose Maria Gil Robles, 63, a prominent Madrid lawyer, and 2) the Liberals, whose spokesman has been...
...Rome, a fleet of 200 sound trucks blared the strident propaganda of the neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (M.S.I.), and in the air relays of planes zoomed over rooftops, trailing the names of M.S.I, candidates. The heirs of Mussolini reportedly spent more than $3,000,000 during the four-week campaign, but when the votes were counted it was clear that the Missini (the nickname derived from the party initials) had misspent their lire.

Bebo left the partisans with a big pistol in his pocket and a boy's pathetic notion that he could slay dragons with it. He swaggers about, beats up a Fascist priest, and finally shoots the young son of a militia sergeant. Bebo thinks himself a hero; he knows simply that his victim was a nonCommunist, therefore an enemy. Mara is indifferent; she does not really care much for Bebo or his problems. But when Bebo is sentenced to 14 years...
...unions-which are anathema to Soriano. And his aristocratic hauteur has provoked resentments that are slow to die. A Spanish citizen by birth, Soriano supported the Franco regime in the 1930s, and when he became a Philippine citizen in 1941 was denounced by some Filipinos as a Fascist advance man. The charge cut so deeply that in 1945 Soriano angrily switched to U.S. citizenship-to which he was entitled because of his World War II service as a colonel on General MacArthur's staff...
